A Benefit for Spirit Rock and Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC.
Description:
The medicine our world calls for is compassion; we need to love ourselves and each other into healing and freedom. While compassion arises naturally, the flowering of full, mature compassion—radical compassion—requires training.
This workshop offers a powerful tool for cultivating compassion. Using the RAIN meditation, we will directly awaken the four dimensions of radical compassion: mindfulness, embodied presence, active caring, and all-inclusiveness. Beginning with our inner life, we’ll explore widening the circles of compassion through a sequence of short talks, guided meditations, and interpersonal meditations and reflections. The day will include time for questions and sharing.
Continuing Education (CE) credit available. Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
